Our first graders headed out to Cross E Ranch for some Fall Fun! They rode down the giant slide, went for a tractor hay ride and enjoyed the sunshine while they played on all the fun features at the Ranch. Thank you to our amazing 1st grade teachers who made this fun outing happen!
We had a record number of 4th graders on our outing! We enjoyed the museum! The students enjoyed hands on learning, interacting with one another and the overall consensus was “FUN!” There was an optional hike that some students participated in! They said it was, “hot, but worth it.” They were tired, hot and sweaty at the end, but all in all, this was a very successful outing! Thank you to our 4th grade teachers for making this happen~
Our K8 students had the opportunity to attend the Uintah Literacy Event last week! Students met at the Uintah County Library where they played Bingo for books, Boggle, and wrote their own film strip. The children’s librarian then took them on a tour of the library. They learned where to find certain materials, learned about upcoming events and programs, they even got to peek in the back and see how books are sorted. It was fun to see the student’s excitement learn about the library and interact with each other!
Back To School Night 2019 is in the books! We had a successful night filled with games, food and fun! It was fun to see so many of our students interact with each other. We had carnival style games put on by our teachers, face painting, spin the wheel, popcorn and cotton candy made by non other than Principal Kreitzer! Thank you to our families who drove from near and far to support our Back to School Night.
